There is a "fantastic" debate surrounding the essentially contested concept of induction "vs" deduction. Do you collect "facts" from what is observed before you or do you use your deductive mind to comment on the experience after the fact? At what point do the facts be taken as truth? At what point can you really tell your not a superstitious pigeon?

Brilliant! You introduced me to Skinner Some time back and this experiment interested me then. Did you see Derren Brown take a room of celebrities and run the same experiment successfully! I just had a look on youtube but can't find it. I suspect i am prone to any conditioning that i am not paying attention to

Thanks again...clunk,click whirr.....food for thought
